Author Topic: Stephen Jones is 50! wish him Happy Birthday!! Gordon Leslie Film Handler Posts: 39 From: Perth ,Western Australia Registered: Sep 1999 posted 05-04-2005 05:39 AM                     May 5th marks the day my good friend Steve sadly reaches that milestone ……you poor old bugger!!, you must let me know one day what its like!. I met Steve on this forum about 5 1/2 yrs go and since then we have become good friends and speak to one another regularly by phone or thru e-mail. I was able to finally persuade Steve to venture over here to the west for a holiday earlier this year and took him out on tour of various cinema sites, from art deco thru to the megaplexes, and the usual tourist attractions around our city. I had my yearly projectionists BBQ to coincide with Steve’s visit, so he was able to meet projectionists from the different company’s here in Perth. At the end of Steve’s holiday he commented that the highlight of his trip was, being a train buff, being able to drive a C class locomotive at the Hotham Valley Railway in Pinjarra ….. Steve, I thought my projectionists bbq would have been up there at the top of your list, or were there to many drunks?… or not enough?. Guess you would have just about dried out by know!…home brew takes a little getting used to!.... Anyway Steve, looking forward to having you back this way again. All the best for the next 50.  |  IP: Logged William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-04-2005 07:23 AM                        Happy birthday, Stephen!  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 05-04-2005 09:12 AM                     HAPPY BIRTHDAY Stephen from NYC/Times Square  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 05-04-2005 11:18 AM                        If Stephen were born the same day as me, would he be a day older?

Ya know Gordie, with you, I can never tell if you're making a typo or have some other meaning in your posts.  |  IP: Logged Stephen Jones Master Film Handler Posts: 314 From: Geelong Victoria Australia Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-05-2005 12:17 AM                     Yep finally hit the big 50.35 of those years showing movies. Was thinking how much has happened in those years,times certainly have changed since 1955. Even though I am now 50 im still not the oldest projectionist In our bio im one of the younger ones still! By the way Perth WA is my favourite spot in Australia and will get back there late next year.I recomend Western Australia to any of you guys shoud you visit down under even Phil would enjoy it.

Happy birthday you old fart - now you are one of us, instead of one of them! And yes, you are still the youngest in our bio and I am the oldest. When will you learn to have respect for your elders? Didn't your mother teach you any manners? The fact that you are the boss makes no difference. By the way, do you realise that if you had been born on the same day as Beethoven, you would have been dead for 178 years. Cheers Mate.  |  IP: Logged Rick Hunter Master Film Handler Posts: 452 From: Melbourne, Australia Registered: Feb 2003 posted 05-05-2005 04:34 AM                     Happy birthday Steve, it seems we share the same day...

Me, I'm working.  |  IP: Logged Gordon Leslie Film Handler Posts: 39 From: Perth ,Western Australia Registered: Sep 1999 posted 05-05-2005 06:32 AM                     Steve....Disneyland celebrates 50years today also ....we could have celebrated there!!
